Inc. 500 — 4 Consecutive Years
One of the rarest marks in American business. Not a one-time result. Four years running.
100+ Professionals Helped
Experienced executives and corporate professionals who now run premium consulting practices of their own.
$100M+ in B2B Sales
The same trust-building with business decision-makers that Dale teaches is what he spent decades doing himself.
This Webinar Is For You If...
➜ You have 15, 20, 25+ years of expertise and you're watching corporate treat that experience as a cost to cut rather than an asset to invest in.
➜ You're considering launching a consulting practice but you don't want to waste years on expensive trial-and-error or license someone else's system and compete in a sea of sameness.
➜ You're already consulting but stuck in feast-and-famine mode...strong months followed by months of scrambling because the foundations aren't solid.
➜ You're competing on price with consultants who have half your experience, and you know the problem isn't your expertise. It's how you're positioned.
➜ You're treated like a vendor instead of a strategic advisor; building custom proposals, waiting on referrals, never knowing where the next client is coming from.
If that sounds like you, this hour could change the trajectory of your next decade.
What You Will Discover on May 7
1️⃣ The Perfect Storm. Three converging forces have created the biggest consulting opportunity in modern history and experienced professionals have a structural advantage right now that won't last forever. You'll understand exactly why.
2️⃣ Where AI Creates Your Opportunity. New Anthropic research shows AI can theoretically perform 94% of business and finance tasks. That's not the threat. The opportunity is in what it cannot touch — the judgment, relationships, and change management expertise that only comes from 20+ years in the room where decisions get made.
3️⃣ The Three Mistakes That Keep Good Consultants Stuck. Poor positioning. Referral dependency. Showing up as a vendor instead of an advisor. These three patterns trap even talented consultants in income ceilings they can't see past. You'll see each one clearly and what to do instead.
4️⃣ The Anti-Franchise Model. How to build a consulting practice that is entirely yours — your methodology, your brand, your clients, your revenue. No licensing fees. No sea of sameness. No competing with clones who bought the same system.
5️⃣ Category of One Positioning. The framework that stops price shopping before it starts. When you're positioned as the only logical choice for a specific kind of client with a specific kind of problem, fee conversations change completely.
6️⃣ The 4-Step Framework. Positioning. Offer. Conversations. Sales. The foundation every premium consulting practice is built on and the sequence that gets experienced professionals to their first clients or breaks them out of feast-and-famine for good.
AI Implementation Crisis — Companies are spending $644B on AI, but 70-85% of initiatives are failing. They need experienced consultants to help navigate transformation.
Augmented Income Economy — Independent workers doubled from 13.6M to 27.7M since 2020. More consultants means more competition — unless you're positioned differently.
Ageism in the Workplace — Corporate America discriminates against experienced professionals. But SMB owners specifically VALUE your "Gray Hair Premium".
These forces are creating the biggest opportunity in modern history for experienced professionals who know how to position themselves.
Here is a sample of what you will take away from this 60-minute session:
➜ Why the same Anthropic data that's making executives nervous is the single best argument for launching your consulting practice right now and how to use it in your first client conversations.
➜ The "sea of sameness" trap that swallows most new consultants in the first 90 days and the one positioning decision that keeps you out of it entirely.
➜ What corporate buyers actually mean when they say "we don't have budget right now" — and why consultants positioned as advisors almost never hear it.
➜ The real reason experienced professionals undercharge: it has nothing to do with confidence and everything to do with how they entered the conversation.
➜ Why AI cannot replicate what you built over 20 years and how to articulate that to a business owner in under two minutes.
➜ The difference between a referral strategy and a referral lottery and why most consultants are playing the lottery without knowing it.
➜ How Ryan restructured his entire client base in six months without losing a single client he wanted to keep.
➜ The one question Dale asks every new client that surfaces the $5,000/month positioning hiding inside what most consultants describe as a $1,500/month service.
➜ Why "I help businesses grow" is the most expensive sentence in consulting — and exactly how to replace it.
➜ What SMB owners mean when they say they want someone with "gray hair," and why that phrase should change how you write your next LinkedIn post.
